Hey,I only temporarily dropped out due to Internet connection problems,which are now fixed.So, I'm back and ready,though just put me at the bottom of the lists for Hegemon so its fair.

Anyways,I say lets worry about beating the Makedonians first, then stabilize our control and economy, then go beat up the Epirotes.Pan-Hellenism all the way (oh,and get Delphi to).After that,head west.Must stop the Romani before they get to strong (and I don't want to have to deal with the Silver Death).

Good to have you back. :)

Easternscourge, would you mind doing this term? I do have a lot of work to do at home, and I really don't have the time today. But next week I'll be ready, that's for sure!:beam:

Fair enough. EasternScourge, you're up.

Alright,I have everything dowmloaded and working.I'll get the first update sometime today.

awesome!!! :beam:

Good shit....just so ya know, the savegame is in KuKulzA's last hegemon post (if you didn't get it yet).

Yay, we can proceed! :P

Year One of the hegemony of Chremonides Attikos-269 B.C.

Okay,first off,someone asked me to show a lists of living generals,so,here it is.

However,don't get to comfortable with that.Also,I decided to take a quick view of how the rest of the world is going.I only kept the Fog of War only long enough for that picture.

Anyways,on to the reign.

Winter of 269 B.C.

Focusing my hegemony on securing our current provinces while preparing for the invasion of Makedonia, governments are currently being installed in Korinthos and Chalkis (Note:Whoever is in charge of Korinthos,tell me if you don't want it).

https://i178.photobucket.com/albums/...overnments.jpg

In preparation of the invasion, a unit of Pelastai were recruited,along with a unit of Mercenary Classical Hoplites.

https://i178.photobucket.com/albums/...ecruitment.jpg

And for safety,Epius army was put in a fort.

Nothing happened in Spring,and nothing important happened in Summer except Epius was to compete in the games.

Fall of 268 B.C.

The following image should suffice for what happened.

https://i178.photobucket.com/albums/...yer/Events.jpg

Our former Hegemon Agathokes has died.While saddened by the lost, we continue with the preparation for the push into the Makedonian heartland.Two units of skirmisher cavalry were recruited for the cause.While not our standard form of fighting,I feel that we must adapt to cavalry-fighting.Besides,they can be used to slaughter the Makedonian cowards when they flee the field.

I swear I took a picture of the army,but I guess it didn't go through.Only additions were A Pelastai,A Mercenary Greek Classical Hoplite,and Two Skirmisher Cavalries.

So,what should happen?Should we head to Dementais now (we're about even in size), or continue preparing.Also,I need the Spartan leader to give me their construction orders for their sphere of influence.Same with the Rhodos,even though they don't have a governor.

I feel that we should focus on economic development of the Pelleponese. Seeing as how it is no longer on our front lines, the Pelleponese should be fairly safe.

I would recemmond that we use Spartan Peltastai, as they're naturally better than fresh recruits from other cities (1 Experience). Don't forget to retrain new recruits and mercs in Athenai, so we can upgrade their arms and armor.

A few units of Athenian Light Hoplites would also be desirable....I've been thinking something like this for our invasion army...

Main Force:
2 Spartan Peltastai
2 Athenian Light Hoplites
4 Hoplitai Haploi
1 Spartan Hoplites
2 Athenian Hoplites (the ones stationed in Athens in the beginning of the game).
2 Skirmisher Cavalry
1 General
Reserves:
2 Slingers
2 Akontistai

Any Mercs we can afford....Thuerophoroi are very nice.

BTW, those who aren't playing along are welcome to add their two cents about mistakes on army composition or strategy we're making.

If I were you, I would try to get my hands on some Thrakioi Peltastai. They can do serious damage - they are THE peltast. (To say mother of all peltasts, would be somewhat weird - yet you can grasp the idea, no?)

We'll just say they're the "originals", yes?

I actually forgot about those, but they are badass. I don't think they're available for hire in Southern Greece though. I'm weary of sending a fleet to byzantion to pick up a few mercs only to have the whole fleet sunk on the way home.

Actually,what you just said is Epieus's army already,with some extra.Though there was a unit of Medium Armored Cavalry avaible (whatever they are called.I believe they are avaible to Makedonia).

if you are the daring general type go for it... but I definitely think infantry-wise we are set... either some good peltast tyes or cavalry to add felxibility to our army

Daring is not my kind of thing.However,if the council feels prepared,I'll get the order sent.Though who will fight as Epieus?

being used to nomadic factions its fight or flight :laugh4:
but we aint got nowhere to run, so we might as well fight (and win)

but it's not my turn, and I dunno who has Epeius... I guess I could be him unless someone else is in line for him, in which case I guess I can get Rhodios' son
Epeius can mind Chalkis if the Council wants a Spartan in charge :yes:

If that's already our army (with whatever filling up the two places left), then we're probably in the best position we can be to take on Antigonus main forces.

If those cavalry are Hippeis (Medium Greek Cavalry), I can never bring myself to hire merc units of those....too much money for, when compared to Makedonia and her light lancers, rather weak and ineffectual cavalry.

Now, if they're of the Thessalonian variety, if I'm not mistaken, those are much more worthwhile. I would say hire it if you have a free slot and the necessary funds without bankrupting us. It will be the closest thing we have to heavy cavalry (and I think it's just a heavier light cavalry, really).

As for who is leading the battle, I think Akrotatos should be taken from Chalkis, and Basileus Seleukia aka Epeius will take over in Chalkis.

Unless Korinthos still goes ungoverned....if that's the case, give Epeius Korinthos, and let Chalkis remain ungoverned. *cant remember if they're is an ungoverned city aside from Rhodios, which may very well go ungoverned for ~5 years until that little shit, Rhodios jr comes of age....I think he pops up in Rhodes*

Unfortunately, KuKulzA, I think you were Rhodios, so you have to go to the end of the line of players without characters, which I think puts 3 ahead of you. You should definitely have a character by the time it is your turn again though. Of course, you're still welcome to take place in talks of strategy and such.

Don't worry though, I haven't even played yet, and I organized the whole thing. But I've been enjoying myself just seeing what others have done, and wondering where we'll be at when it's my turn to take over.

hope when you play it is as challenging and fun as you would have it be :beam:

I'll double check what unit they are (theres a picture of the mercenary recruitment screen and they are in in,if you want to check).And money isn't that big of a problem.Were currently sitting at around 15k.

Korinthos isn't governed,so send Epeius there and give the army to Akrotatos?

I would think that would be the best course of action, but the final decision rests with you, really. Just remember to pass the battles along if your character isn't the one leading the campaign. You can still move them though. :)

Sooooo....shall we continue?

Oh,I was waiting for whoever is in charge of Akrotatos to post,seeing as I need to know what he wanted built for Sparta.That,and know he's still here so I can put his character in charge of the invasion.I'll continue tomorrow after school.

Well, general guidelines can be given, but, really, the final decision lays with you. Otherwise, the game will take too long. You can still ask questions, but if everyone hasn't answered within about 24 hours, just decide for them.

go for it... and you can do whatever you wanna with Rhodos, I don't really care that much, just if you do anything with Rhodos, let it be economic...

having said that I think my jurisdiction is over since old Rhodios is dead... o well

wait what? im still here... just been waiting for somthing to happen lol

(P.S.) I am governor of Chalkis not Sparte enless you mean my father.

Okay,update time.Yay.

Year Two of the Hegemony of Chremonides Attikos 258 B.C.

Winter of 269 B.C.

Not much happened, though I have started some economic bulding programs in Sparta and Athens.In Rhodes, work is going on in improving the stabilty there.

Sparta-Trader
Athens-Mercantile Dock
Rhodes-Garrison (Without a governor I fear that it might get unhappier there,so this should help a little)

https://i178.photobucket.com/albums/...orsofSandA.jpg

Spring of 268 B.C.

My son has finally grown of age,and doesn't seem to shabby.He'll take charge of Chalkis while Akrotatos leads the invasion of Makedonia.Epeius has been moved to Korinthos.Now if only Rhodios had a son,all cities would be governed.

https://i178.photobucket.com/albums/...ayer/Doros.jpg

Here he is,traits and all

Summer Through Fall of 268 B.C.

Not much happened these few months.The army had some last finishing touched done to it and the governments of Korinthos and Chalkis were finished.And Sparta has a small trading post.Lets hope these warriors can learn how to use it.


https://i178.photobucket.com/albums/...r/Gov.Done.jpg

https://i178.photobucket.com/albums/...andFinance.jpg

Here is the army for the invasion of Makedonia.Led by Akratatos,who has already shown his worth on the battlefield.And there is our treasury (the number covered is a one.Wasn't paying that much attention to the pointer's location)

And so ends my reign as Hegemon.Hopefully my succesor does more than me.



Okay,my thoughts on my reign as the Hegemon.Pretty much just went and focused on some internal things along with preparing for the invasion.Otherwise,pretty uneventful.Except Rhodios dying,which makes me kind of sad that its the highlight of this term (in my opinion anyway).

Heres the save file:

http://files.filefront.com/KHsav/;84.../fileinfo.html

Who shall lead us now?

If I'm not mistaken, it's theycallmetighty, but I haven't heard from him in a while.

I shall make this army of peasants fight like lions.
